Although these tips are very useful the simplest solution is to purchase (if you don't already have I'm assuming) a S-Video compatible Graphics Card(PCI OR AGP) and the S-Video Cable.
Step 1) After inserting the Video card(64 to 256 MB graphics cards have them), connect the S-Video cable to the back of the video card and the other head at the back of your television. (Hopefully your television has a compatible s-video port)
Step 2) Turn on your television and then your computer. It should automatically detect and display your cpu's content. However if it doesn't and refer to the graphics properties of your video card. (By right clicking on your desktop and going to Display settings) from there you should be able to see a box with multiple displays.
Step 3) If all else fails , install the latest drivers for your graphics card and the Control Panel( if available from your graphics card manufacturer) which will enable you to manually configure the s-video properties(multi display etc).
